If your application is going to directly serve map tiles from tile.openstreetmap.org, we ask you to observe our [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy tile usage policy]. You can also use your own tile server or a commercial provider ... see links on [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy tile usage policy page]. Note that the map tiles we serve continue to be published under the CC-BY-SA license.
 
==Are there any special conditions or restrictions for commercial or academic use?==
 
No. Anyone, personal, academic, government, commercial ..., has the rights to use our data under equal terms. Our license says, "... These rights explicitly include commercial use, and do not exclude any field of endeavour."
